Each year Fairmont PTA and the Shawn Knutson Scholarship Team give out $1,000 scholarships to graduating high school students that attended Fairmont Elementary. Every penny raised goes directly to fund scholarships for former Fairmont students. In conjunction with the Shawn Knutson Scholarship Team, we have given out more than 45 scholarships.
Students attended an assembly on March 14 that explains Shawn Knutson's legacy at Fairmont to kick off the scholarship fundraiser. Every students who participates by donating at least $1 will be entered into a participation drawing for awesome prizes.
Donation envelopes and paperwork went home with students on Monday, March 14.
